This is the thoroughly revised, updated and enlarged edition of a handy monograph on insulin in modern clinical practice.
The discovery of insulin has been one of the greatest milestones in medicine. Any type of diabetes mellitus can be controlled by using insulin. With the availability of many types of insulins, managing diabetes is far more easy now than before, and treatment can be tailored to the individual needs.

The entire current literature about insulin and various insulin regimens has been referred to make the second edition up-to-date and more useful to clinicians. Sincere effort has been made to bring together all the information that the clinicians need to know to use insulin in their daily practice in a simple language. This book is useful for all the general practitioners, postgraduate students, residents, physicians, and all other doctors who are engaged in treating diabetes mellitus.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
